subject: Renovation Of The Rigid Education Mesh In India [print this page] Any system needs monitoring and changes in the existing pattern of functioning if it has to stay in form and in agreement with the times. Education system also needs refurbishment at various levels so it can function as a unified bunch and aim to achieve its goal in reality and not just on paper. Having an open mind for starters would atleast lead us in this direction and introduce monitored flexibility in the system.
Education system needs to work under certain guidelines accompanied by changes to suit the dynamics. Among the concerns is the presence of trained faculty. An institution is rated based on the quality of teachers appointed and their qualifications. At times, the vacancies for a post remain unoccupied for long hampering the teaching progress. It is quite unlikely that an institute finds the rightly qualified faculty at the time of need and time will be lost in the process of short listing and recruitment. Another method to ease out this burden and save time is possibly by hiring a candidate with qualification up to a certain desired extent of the post followed by training the faculty to achieve a certain mark. In this manner, the faculty is able to learn on the job also removing the glitch in knowledge transfer for students. The progress of the faculty could also be monitored and monetary benefits would also help push the individuals performance.
The educational modes need to be cutting edge so as to suit the current generation and mind set of pupils. The most prevalent or easily adaptable mode is the online mode. This is no rocket science and despite the faculty comfortable with the older modes of tutelage, would find this process far more convenient. For instance, a faculty who would opt for online teaching can complete knowledge delivery in a given set period of hours and choose to manage the remaining time to keep themselves updated on the knowledge front thereby upgrading quality. Pictorial or video uploads prove to be additionally effective for students. These are handy during revision time and electronic usage saves use of paper making it eco friendly; now an urgent need for a greener tomorrow.
The government has announced its increased funding for research projects in science and technology to 12%. This move is to encourage budding scientists to keep their passion alive and move towards R&D so as to execute their idea which would perhaps contribute in putting India on spot and achieve the 6th position as aimed for. The increase in paper publications is of utmost need alongside ground breaking research. The provision of laboratory facilities can also be provided for with the funding available. The only issue to be sorted out is the planning of the monetary input so that no section is left untouched or undeveloped.
Course additions and training is required as well. Introduction of unique modules would generate an assorted pool of pupils whose knowledge drive could be utilized by creating associated job positions and employing them within the country. This would put a deadlock of brain drain as more youth would be encouraged to stay within the Country. Ideating on the above could possibly help start the renovation process of education and also create an open mind among the present generation.
